Frida Betrani was raised in Montréal, Québec,
Canada. At the age of 12, Frida and her family moved to Vancouver,
British Columbia. Frida's passion for acting started at a
young age, when she appeared in a play in the 1st grade. She
went on to study acting all through her high school years,
doing several theater projects along the way including musical
theatre. She later moved to New York City to pursue her studies
and graduated from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Returning to Vancouver, Frida landed her first job as the
West coast hostess on YTV "Streetnoise". Frida is
best known by the sci-fi fans as Lya, the female Nox in the
earlier seasons of Stargate SG-1.

Gilles Nuytens:Hello
Frida and thanks for taking some time to talk with us. Did
you enjoy the shooting of the Stargate SG-1 episodes you appeared
in?Frida Betrani: Hi Gilles, Yes, I definitely
enjoyed shooting all my episodes of Stargate SG-1 but the
first one was particularly special because we shot for seven
days in a beautiful location (even though there was lots of
rain!) and I had so much fun meeting the cast for the first
time. Also, director Charles Correll gave me a lot of freedom
to explore and create the character which was great.

Gilles
Nuytens:Wasn't it a bit
difficult to concentrate on your line with such an unusual
costume on?Frida Betrani: This was the first sci-fi
show that I had ever done so working in that type of costume
definitely presented some challenges. (The headpiece was VERY
heavy!) But, at the same time, the costume helped me discover
the character so saying the lines actually came quite naturally.

Gilles Nuytens:What
were your opinions of the character you were playing? Is she
anything like you?Frida Betrani: The main things I like about
Lya, which I also identify with personally, are her love of
peace and her belief in compassion.

Gilles Nuytens:What
do you want to say to your fans who want Lya to come back?Frida Betrani: Write to the producers
and tell them and you want me back! I'd love to come back
on either SG-1 or Atlantis!

Gilles Nuytens:Regarding
your career, in which movie/TV show you may dream to act?Frida Betrani: Some shows I would love to
act in would be Six Feet Under, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Rescue
Me.

Gilles Nuytens:What
about a come back of Lya?Frida Betrani: I am almost always asked these
similar questions about a come back for Lya. I would love
to play her again, and I believe it would take a great writer
to draw up a unique story line. I have in the past watched
SG1 shows but I have not yet caught any Atlantis. You might
have some better luck asking the producers of the SG1 or leaving
a message on the SG1 site about future plans for Lya.

Frida Betrani: Here's a question for you.
Which part of Belgium are you from?Gilles Nuytens:Did
you already visited Belgium ? If yes, that's great! I'd be
glad to discuss more with you about my country. I'm born in
Brussels and.... live there until now, it's a little country
but usually people like it. And you, if you visited it, where
did you go? Did you like it?
Frida Betrani: No, I have never been to Belgium,
but I hope to someday. I have however had some amazing chocolate
from there!
